Frankel is a legendary racehorse who touches people’s hearts. This film combines his story with that of the charismatic man who trained him. Henry Cecil had been the most successful racehorse trainer in the world. He had it all. But then lost it all. Then, together with Frankel, he won it all back again.

The Times
“ This is no ordinary documentary….it is such a moving account of Sir Henry Cecil’s defining achievements with Frankel that even those casual viewers with no racing knowledge may be rooted to the sofa..”
